Krieger recorded a total of 28 saves while allowing just 11 goals in wins over Bryant (7-5) and Dartmouth (9-6). The senior stopped a season-high 15 shots on Wednesday while giving up just one first half goal to the Bulldogs, and added 13 saves and four ground balls on Saturday against the Big Green. Krieger finished the week with a .718 save percentage and a 5.50 goals against average.
